Subject[PATCH 04/17] perf: Add ability to attach user stack dump to sample
Date
Introducing new sample_type bit PERF_SAMPLE_STACK. Once set,
the sample_stack value determines the stack which is going
to be attached.

Currently only user level stack is supported, specified by
PERF_SAMPLE_STACK_USER bit in sample_stack value. When set,
the sample_stack_user value determines the size of the
stack dump.

Beeing able to dump parts of the user stack, starting from the
stack pointer, will be useful to make a post mortem dwarf CFI
based stack unwinding.
